INCREASING NEED OF HON
EST MEN.
IN. Pieayane.l

The almost daily accounts of polit-
ical official corruption in national,
State and municipal governments,
and the numerous cases of embez-
element by trusted employees of
private corporations and private in
dividuals, would almost give color
to the oft repeated statement that
there is a general decline in individ-
ual honesty. It would be strange if
this should be so IN the face of a
universal increase in the demand
for honest men, for there has never
in the history Of society, been so
great need Of public and private
integrity.
Leaving out Of the question all
public officials, it is easily seen

FIFTY YEARS.

A half century of experience
nearly, has passed over US in our
national being-sinee 1885, and we
speak Of the progress and better
condition Of the country in every
particular over what it was fifty
years ago. In very many respects
we have reasons for this. But in
the respect Of honest devotion to
the country on the part of those
high in Office, how is itl
Nearly fifty ago, Daniel Webster
uttered the following:

THE RESULT
Commercial Herald.l

The negroes moving TO the Val
ley from Kinds and other counties,
are not taking any Of the land with
them. So long as that Is the case,
the land owners in those hill sec
tions need not distress themselves
about the ultimate effect, for It will
be TO the advantage Of all parties
The land owners will be benefited
by being weaned from a system, hy
which they have grown poorer
every year, the negroes viii profit
by the valuable experience. Where
the negroes are going it will be
root hog or die, and they will
make reliable, industrious laborers.
They will develop the Delta,
section Of unlimited resources, and
it will pour its wealth out for more
perfect protection against the over
flows. In sections deserted by the
negroes, the very choice lands will
be devoted to making cotton az
surplus crop, and the remaining
portion will be much more valua-
bic than if it was being steadily
worn out and impoverished by un-
remunerative cultivation such as
prevailed while it was rented.
Cereals, grasses, fruits, stock and
poultry viii take the place of losing
cetton crops, and there viii be lit
tie or no risk. The land owner
can easily make his land support
him and make more sure money,
than he could by attempting to
produce paying crops Of cotton.
He should not be the least disturb
ed at the change that is taking
place. II was inevitable, and if il
had taken place years ago, it would
have been much better for him

PROHIBITION.

tmeulPhls Appeal
On Christmas day we received a
dispatch from Atlanta, stating that
the Southern Express Company
had carried into that place 200 jugs
that, a sa witty friend says, "did
not all contain ink" The conse-
quence was a great deal Of drunk
enness. But Atlanta was not alone.
The same company carried from
this city to neighoring prohibition
towns 1929 jugs, ranging from
quarts to two gallons, 100 kegs.
equivalent to $500 quart jugs and
thirty barrels, equivalent to 4,2OO
quart jugs. These facts, procured
from the company on inquiry, sug-
gested by the Atlanta dispatch,
proves that prohibition does not
prohibit.

The example of the financial,
school and military officers of
Tennessee, in preparing and MAX
ing public their reports prior to
the assembling of the Legislature,
should be initiated by our State
officers. It is absurd to say these
reports cannot be prepared and
ready for submission to the Legis-
lature on or before Tuesday after
the first Monday in January, bien-
nially. But it is fact that the re-
ports Of none Of our officers were
ready for many days after the as
sembling of the last Legislature
and in the case of the Auditor and
Treasurer it was weeks before
their reports were presented, thus
delaying the most important legis-
lation, and thereby extending the
length of the session, to the great
discomfort Of many ofthe members
and finally rushing though on the
heel of the session large and use
less appropriations, which would
not likely have been passed with
full Houses.

If this language was true in 1885
how is it now, when the nation
has almost become the common
prey Of all species Of maurader? (?
The man who is dishonfst now in
public life must be pretty much the
same kind as Webster had in mind.
Times have not changed in this
particular very much. The Ian
guage quoted above is just the
same that some statesmen whose
hands had never been polluted with
public spoil might have uttered
twenty years ago, ten years ago, or
utter to-day. It is indeed necessa-
ry to-day that public officers be
brought back to a conviction that
they belong to the country and not
the country to them, or to any adj
ministratiOn or TO any one man,
1t has come to such a pass that the
supposition indulgod in by the gen

OUR POSITION

The Coffeeville Focus, usually
conservative in its views, is mixed
on the school question. In follow
ing the lead Of the CHIoKAsAw
MEssEEGER, the Focus should not
be so absurd as to talk about max
ing convict guards out Of the A. & /
NJ. College students. There is a
very small amount Of wheat in the |
mass Of chat in the discussion of
this question. The Focus should .
not waste its time piling up the
chaff. The MEssEN0ER has the call /
in this business. Meridian Nelcs. |
Our usually fair and always able !
cotemporary does the MEssENaER
injustice in the article here quoted.
The students at the A. & NJ. are
we hope our friends, certainly we
are their friend, aud we have great
respect for the intelligence and
moral character of the faculty, and
hence we have no disposition to
degrade the institution by associa-
ting its members with the convicts
of the State.
Our opposition to this College
and others, is based upon the idea
that it is unjust to the tax-paying
masses to require them to support
an educational system, for the bene-
fit almost exclusively of that class
of our fellow-citizcns, whose means
enable them to take care Of them
selves, and which cannot from the
very circumstances surrounding
the common people be utilized by
them. We don't associate the A.
& NJ. College with the striped Jack
ct crowd, but we do say that it is
an outrage to spend more than 800
per annum on a young man at the
A. & NJ. College, when the poor
boy who helps his father make a
crop, cannot receive from all sources
more than three dollars to pay his
tuition in the common schools
during the winter months. We do
say that it is exceedingly unjust to
furnish elegant residences and pay
College professors $4,000 per an
mum, who do not work more than
three hours per day, whom the
teacher in the common schools
cannot receive under our law, more
than $4,000 for term of four
months, and when in fact the aver
age teacher does not receive $3.50
for his labor during that time.
We do not blame young gentle
men who are so situated that they
may take advantage Of our collegi
ate system, nor do we eensure the
College faculties for enjoying the
benefits of the good things set be.
fore them, but we do denounce
with all the vehemence of our ma
ture the iniquity Of the law which
creates this inequality and which
encourages the building up Of 1

working people of the country
